Abstract

AbstractRecently, electric power transmission/substation systems need to be extended and they tend to be more compact. From the backgrounds of electromagnetic field environment, especially the magnetic field environment in and around electric power facilities becomes more important. However, many factors must be considered when investigating it, such as complicated current conditions, configurations of conductors and ferromagnetic structures, and so on. For more precise investigation of magnetic field environments, we must understand the quantitative influence of conductors and ferromagnetic structures.In this paper we describe how conductive and ferromagnetic materials influence the ELF magnetic field distribution. We carried out the measurement and finite element analysis of magnetic flux density distribution around an aluminum plate, a soft magnetic iron plate, and a 1/40 reduced model of an actual transmission tower. Based on the results, we clarified the influence of conductors and ferromagnetic substances on the magnetic flux density distribution around them. Finally, we showed the effectiveness of finite element analysis for evaluating the magnetic field around actual power facilities. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
